Summary
This trial investigates whether adding a dietary supplement called sodium nucleinate to standard FOLFOX chemotherapy helps people with metastatic colorectal cancer (cancer that has spread). Participants are randomly assigned to receive either the supplement or a placebo alongside four cycles of chemotherapy. Researchers track treatment completion, quality of life, and survival up to one year.
